To make the trigger lighter you can either modify the stock one or buy a 50g switch here. You can also use the debounce settings to raise your ROF.

take the frame off, and u will notice a screw on the top of the trigger itself, screw it in as tight as possible. My friends did that and his trigger was actually touching the button thingy, but i did it and i was EXTREMLY close to the button thingy. Anyways, it makes a difference.

Actually you would need to screw that out, not in, to reduce the trigger pull. After doing this the screw presses against the receiver while putting the frame back on reducing the trigger pull. If it was screwed all the way in you would have the maximum trigger travel.

Javaman speaks the truth. I used to think that screwing the trigger adjustment screw all the way in would help as well. The problem with that though, is that you will have bounce up the butthole. I had a 3 Penny Switch and had three shots everytime I pulled the trigger. Now that my trigger is proberly adjusted, I don't get DQ'd at local tournaments.

Some things that you can do to lighten your trigger pull:
1) Modify your exsisting stock switch or buy a 50g switch from www.lpspyder.com
2) Remove the trigger spring
3) Shave down the button on your switch

Not many agree with me, but like I said in an earlier post, I think the stock one is better then the low gram ones. Heck even the stock one seems a bit hesitent when it returns the trigger back to it's home position. Maybe I have a defective switch or trigger spring but if I were to get a low gram switch all I would get is a mushy return.

You really can't go wrong though if you just adjust the trigger travel. Set the seer screw out enough to cause the trigger to rest on the microswitch and rig up some way to get rid of the overtravel. The easiest in the short run is to glue something to the back of the trigger or on the frame near the button. To get this precise takes a lot of patience and generally looks pretty unprofessional. The best way would probably be to drill and tap a hole in the trigger just big enough for an adjustable screw. You can turn it in or out to adjust the backplay. If you use the right type the head will be completely imbedded (sp?) in the trigger. Use some teflon tape or better yet removable locktight to keep it from drifting.
Good luck!
